Ingredients:
  • 36.80 gm vegetable oil
  • 2kg turkey drumsticks
  • 2 large brown onions, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 20.00 gm ground cumin
  • 20.00 ml ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 chicken style stock cubes, crumbled
  • 42.90 gm gluten-free cornflour
  • 2 x 400g cans kidney beans, drained, rinsed
  • Fresh coriander leaves, to serve
  • Steamed white rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. 2. Heat half of the oil in a 7cm deep, 25x32cm (base) roasting pan over medium-high heat. 3. Brown the drumsticks in batches of 2 for 5 to 6 minutes, then transfer them to a large dish.
  • In a roasting pan, heat the remaining oil. Add onion and cook while stirring for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, cumin, coriander, and chili, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Add tomato, stock cubes, and 4 cups of cold water, then bring to a boil. Return drumsticks to the pan, ensuring they are coated. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes or until drumsticks are tender.
  • Take the drumsticks out of the oven and raise the oven temperature to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Transfer the drumsticks to a large baking dish. Combine cornflour with 1/3 cup tomato mixture in a bowl, then add the mixture to the pan. Stir well. Remove the skin and bones from the turkey, shred the meat using 2 forks, and return it to the pan with kidney beans. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes until slightly thickened. Serve with rice and coriander.
